Congress leader DK Shivakumar on Sunday posted a video on social media with his party colleague Siddaramiah to project the party’s united front ahead of polling in the state.

According to the report in NDTV, Shivakumar tweeted a short video clip of his "heart-to-heart" conversation with former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. 

It said the two top Congress leaders, who are seen as the top contenders for the Chief Minister's post if the grand old party manages to topple the BJP government, spoke candidly about health, a chopper accident, and the people's support for their party in various regions during the election campaign.

"Some conversations are effortless & yet the most impactful. 

The video clip, in Kannada with English subtitles, starts with Siddaramaih talking about his health when asked about it— he has a viral infection in his left hand—and moves to Shivakumar narrating his recent chopper accident scare after a bird hit. 

The Congress party's official Twitter account shared the video with a "we are stronger together" message, saying the conversation was a "sign of mutual respect and bonhomie" in Karnataka Congress.
